Eight years ago today, the Camp Fire devastated communities in Butte County, claiming 85 lives and destroying more than 18,000 structures. On the anniversary of the fire, we remember those who lost their lives, honor the resilience of the survivors and communities affected, and recognize ongoing recovery efforts.

The Camp Fire is a stark reminder that wildfires can happen anywhere, at any time. Stay prepared: sign up for local emergency alerts, keep informed, and follow all evacuation warnings and orders from local officials.

On this day, the eighth anniversary of the Woolsey Fire, we remember the communities across Ventura and Los Angeles counties impacted by the devastating wildfire. The fire burned more than 90,000 acres and destroyed about 1,500 structures.

Wildfire season is year-round. This anniversary is a reminder to stay prepared: sign up for local emergency alerts, keep informed, and follow all evacuation warnings and orders from local officials.

El Niño is here! Plan ahead by getting your vehicle ready before the next storm. Stay up to date on routine maintenance, including checking your brakes, tires, and other essential vehicle components to help ensure safe travel or if you need to evacuate at a moment’s notice. 🚗

🪔 @Cal_OES wishes you a happy and safe Diwali!

⚠️ King Tides are forecast for the end of this month and combined with El Niño conditions could further elevate coastal water levels, increasing the risk of flooding. Coastal communities should prepare now.

In Marin County, residents and local officials are deploying sandbags and taking steps to protect their communities. Cal OES is coordinating with local partners to support preparedness efforts.

Coastal Californians: Know your flood risk, protect your property, and stay informed. Prepare now!
